Shepperd Attacks Phillips Gas Case as Federal Grab
Texas Attorney General John Ben Shepperd blasted the Supreme Court action on the Phillips natural gas case calling it a bigger grab than the tidelands and warning it could erode state conservation and taxation powers. He urged Congress to overturn the ruling and said states may lose authority to regulate natural resources. He cited close ties between gas and oil, and urged scrutiny of any new Supreme Court appointee. A vacancy followed Justice Robert Jackson's death.
